My laptop will not boot up after turning it on the message "The selected boot device failed." Appears and then shuts down after pressing enter.

What can I or should I do to fix this?

I would first try a power reset/hard reset. (No files will be lost due to this):

If still no joy try running Diagnostics to test the drive. Immediately after powering on start tapping the Esc key. This will open a menu where F2 System Diagnostics is an option. Tap F2 key and run the tests.

I ran an extensive diagnostic and it has passed every section and as for hard resetting it every attempt has lead nowhere it just proceeds to the boot failed message so I was not able to perform a reset.

Have you tried a System Recovery to reinstall Windows?

I have tried to follow the steps provided by the link you posted but did not get far or anywhere at all. Turning on my notebook and repeatedly pressing the F11 key to enter system recovery did not work, pressing F11 resulted in my notebook making a beeping sound and showing the boot device failed message.
